Ingredients:

For the wings:

• 3–4 lbs chicken wings, flats + drumettes

For the spicy blueberry glaze:

• ¼ cup honey 

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 2 tsp Worcestershire

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)

Instructions:

1. Prep the wings

• Pat wings dry with paper towels (crispy wings start here).

3. Make the spicy blueberry glaze

• In a saucepan, combine blueberries, honey, vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic, salt and red pepper flakes.

• Simmer over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blueberries burst and sauce thickens slightly.

• Blend with an immersion blender (or mash with a fork for chunkier texture). Taste and adjust with more Worcestershire, honey, or salt.

4. Finish the wings

• Toss wings lightly in the glaze or brush it on for a glossy finish.

• Serve extra glaze on the side for dipping.
